The American Heritage® Dictionary definition of "silage" is: "Fodder prepared by storing and fermenting green forage plants in a silo." Too much of this note for me in this edgy version, having a sharp or biting quality. Carven Vetiver is smoother and lighter, Royall Lyme's Royall Vetiver is far nicer and more rounded, albeit not as multi-dimensional. Can't see this as a summer fragrance, IMO -- it's too hot. I do wear it in winter, however.

Perhaps the finest of the few Vetiver fragrances around. balanced, elegant, light. can be worn in day or evening year-round.

One of the most refreshing summer, Caribbean, fragrances ever made. Unlike any other lime.

the concentree' is NOT the original fragrance, which you can still get everywhere in europe, the caribbean, and virtually all duty-free shops in the world. (The concentree is not concentrated, either, but a different, reformulated fragrance.)

Why not just concentrate it, like Eau Sauvage Extreme, etc. -- we all agree we'd like it to last longer - and charge more money?

The people at Chanel boutiques, etc., claim ignorance of the difference, but this is disingenuous if not dishonest.
